Beautiful location and home to stay in. Everything was quiet, peaceful and tranquil and the hot tub was amazing to relax in after a long day.The hosts - Owen and Patricia - were incredibly responsive to any questions (of which there were very, very few).We had a superb time, loved every minute and can highly recommend any one to stay here.

We really enjoyed our stay over the Christmas holidays. It was a very special touch that they had a tree there that was decorated. The house has some really nice updates. The bedrooms have very little space to unpack and hold our stuff. But we were not there very much. The beds were very comfortable. It was pretty chilly during the time we were there. The house has some lovely floor ceiling windows, and it was difficult for us to get the house warm. But there were plenty of blankets to use.The hot tub was also a great addition, even in the cold weather. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and very responsive. We also appreciated the little treats that they left for us. We would recommend this house to stay in.

This was a charming home. It's on a steep hillside as is the whole neighborhood. Nice amenities, including a heated master bath floor, which was really nice. Hosts put out a tray of snacks and even dog treats, and provided good communication and information. Plenty of warm throws to snuggle in. Lots of outdoor decking and a hot tub but due to weather we weren't able to use much of that. Lots of stairs so be aware if that is an issue. Very nice place!!

We had a very enjoyable week at this property. Beds are very comfortable and area is quiet at night. It’s 25-30 minutes from town so you need to stock up on your way there. There is one small pizza/Italian restaurant close by and the food is good. The property is a bit unusual in that the main entrance opens directly into the bedroom. There is another way in and out but you do need to enter through the bedroom if the house is locked. Hot tub is a great feature and there is plenty of outdoor seating.

Wonderful family retreat location and gorgeous property! We recently stayed here for our daughter's WWU graduation. Worth every penny! All of the extra's you could ever want or need. We regularly enjoyed the hot tub, and family visits around the outdoor fire pit. The environment was so peaceful (while also being a short drive away from town). To see deer walking up the driveway in the morning as I had my coffee out on the front deck while listening to the birds chirp was priceless. Plenty of room, games, fun popcorn popper, bbq, etc. etc.! Host was very responsive anytime I had a question both before our trip and during our stay. Highly recommend and we hope to stay here in the future the next time we visit BHAM.

Lovely Short Stay, Could Easily Use for Longer Stays

We really enjoyed our stay at the home, and I'd happily book it again.The location was lovely, comfortable, and worked for what we were seeking, with easy access to both town and a variety of dog-friendly hikes. We were particularly impressed with how well supplied the kitchen was, and with the enclosed dog run. The was also a generous welcoming basket.The hillside construction allows for a lovely view of the lake, and a layout that allows people to find their own space in the house. It also means lots of stairs, which may not be suitable for people with very young children or other mobility limitations.

Great house in beautiful location

We loved staying here! It is so peaceful and lovely. The house is cute and well-appointed, we had everything we needed. My partner loved playing the guitar the owners kindly provide and we enjoyed sitting outside on the deck at dusk and watching the lake. The master bed and living room couch were both comfy.

Great Family Getaway

My husband and I rented the house to spend a week with our adult daughter, son, and daughter-in-law. The neighborhood is great, we loved the relaxing feel of the house, and the hot tub was a hit. Perfect location for all of the day trips we made. The owners were wonderful and very helpful when our daughter left something in the house after checking out. One for the memory books!

Very nice place to get away

This was the third time we've stayed in this property. The Sudden Valley area is beautiful and the people there are quite friendly. (That's one of the reasons we're moving there.) The property is well maintained, well equipped, and the owners are very easy to work with.

Great hot tub!

The owners were very responsive to any questions we had. Their place was perfect for a galpal weekend away. Kitchen was well stocked, nice layout, hot tub was great (clean and hot), plenty of space to relax and take in the view of the lake. We had a wonderful lunch at Cosmo's in town. We'll definitely be back. I also liked that they didn't overcharge for cleaning, fees, etc...

Great time had by all

We were looking for a getaway for the long weekend and stumbled upon this little gem. We booked it last minute and found Owen very helpful and responsive, before and during our stay. It was a typical pacific northwest weekend, so we didn't make as much use of the decks as we might have but we made more than enough use of the hot tub. The location is great as you are just far enough out of town to feel like you are in the middle of nowhere and close enough that you don't feel like it is a pain to go into to if you forgot something. We will for sure return for another stay and would recommend it to all our friends.

Great Lake House on Lake Whatcom!

Wonderful visit to Lake Whatcom using the property as a base camp to exploring the PNW. About 2 hours to North Cascades National Park and 1 1/2 to Mount Baker, home was fully apportioned for all our needs. Excellent stocked kitchen with more than enough appliances and utensils to have many home cooked dinners. Kayaks (2) were great to use during the day and the hot tub after three long days of hiking was just perfect. Patti and Owen were superb hosts and kept us informed about the property and things to do in neighboring Bellingham. It was a perfect stay and definitely recommend others interested in this area to consider staying at the “Grand View”! Thanks Owen and Patti and best wishes.

This is a 4 person house.

Two of the bedrooms are way too small to share, the basement is really musty. Heat wouldn’t work, no hot water! House has a nice master & living space but definitely not a 6 person house. Way over priced.

About the host

Hosted by Owen & Patricia Brown

Host profile image
We are always having an adventure. We're currently in Bellingham and spend a lot time aboard our sail boat. My wife is from Boston and I am from Nova Scotia. We want everyone to enjoy this house as we do!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Bellingham because of it's beauty and laid back vibe and so much nature. We chose this property based on the feeling we had once we first stepped in. The full window face of the house captured our attention as we just starred at the view of the lake. With the remodels heavy on the wood work, we made it cozy and comfortable so we felt we were always in a lake summer home.

What makes this property unique

It needed a ton of work to make it what we wanted. Our first 2 years of living there we always had contractors walking through our home. Now it is exactly the way we pictured it when we first stepped in. The main focal point it the rock wall behind the wood stove. Gives a great atmosphere while sitting up high above the lake.
